Re: fingerprint reader thinkpad edge 14"

If you look at your model on thinkwiki.org

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:Edge_14%22

ít seems that somebody got it working with Ubuntu 10.10. However, the USB ID of your particular fingerprint reader does not appear in the list of USB ID's and may not be supported.
